Not you (of course), just a work situation being very annoying, and probably not getting much better for the foreseeable future (kinda working on it, though, buuuuut it's slow going).


Edit: Another day, but less GAAH than yesterday, thankfully.

I went downstairs to get the bag of Chica's food from the freezer. I used to keep pet food in there to keep it fresh. For bird food, freezing it kills off any bugs or eggs that may be lurking among the seed. I'd also keep the bulk-size bags of rice we'd buy once in awhile in there as rice can also come with moth larva.

Upon opening the freezer, I was hit with a smell that stunk like there was a dead body being kept in there. At some point the freezer died; nobody said anything. The reason it stunk like a dead body is because we used to kept meat in there. The food was shrink wrapped and all of that, but it still gives off odor which permeated into the inner walls of the freezer.

Chica's food was fine as the bag had never been opened, but the 2 bags of Jingle's food, ( we've been transitioning her from one diet to another) a bag of rice that I opened a couple of weeks ago and a opened bag of bird food went into the trash. If they were sealed, I wouldn't be worried, but since I don't know how long the freezer had been sitting not running, I thought it was better to be safe than sorry. I have plenty food for the bird and Jingle. New bags of food for both of them will be delivered tomorrow.

We won't be replacing the freezer. We don't need it and I'm over replacing things that we don't use all the time. When the heating company is done doing their thing, I'll call the trash company about doing a pick up for the freezer. I've been told they have better prices than 1-800-Got-Junk; we'll see.
